Aerosmith’s Joe Perry collapsed during a Hollywood Vampires gig last night (10 July) and was rushed to hospital.
The guitarist was midway through a performance with his rock supergroup, which includes Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp, in New York last night when he suddenly sat down on the drum riser, stopped playing and then headed backstage where he promptly lost consciousness.
As Rolling Stone reports, Perry was revived by EMTs on site, before being immediately taken to hospital. Cooper subsequently tweeted to assure fans that Perry was “stable right now.”

A spokesperson for the group echoed Cooper’s tweet, saying, “Joe is stable and resting. His brother Vampires and fans wish him a speedy recovery.”
